Mepitel® is a soft silicone wound contact layer designed for the management of wounds that have moderate to high amounts of wound fluid, including skin tears, skin abrasions, sutured wounds, partial-thickness burns, partial- and full-thickness grafts, diabetic foot ulcers, and leg ulcers.
Key Benefits
- Stays in place, but won't adhere to the wound bed
- Minimises pain and trauma during dressing changes
- Transparent for easy wound inspection and can be cleaned by wiping over 'in situ'
- Can remain in place for up to 14 days allowing outer secondary dressing changes as required
- Allows wound fluid to pass through into a secondary dressing like Mesorb or Mextra
Mepitel should be applied directly to the wound with a secondary absorbent dressing then applied on top which should be secured with a tubular bandage, such as Tubifast® or equivalent.
When used in conjunction with a secondary absorbent dressing, such as Mesorb®, Mepitel can be used as a protective layer on wounds with none to low amounts of fluid, for example blisters, fragile skin and exposed fragile tissues.
Mepitel can be used by lay persons under supervision of Healthcare Professionals.If you are concerned about your wound, please contact your Healthcare Professional.
ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST CONTACT YOUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL
